of the registry law of December 131, 1702, was to promote the building of merchant vessels in the United States. To this end heavy penalties were imposed on foreign built vessels owned by American citizens whenever they came within the jurisdiction of the United Stutes. In addition the cargnes of these vessels were di criminated against. To be a vesel of the United States up to the passage of the Panama act and the abendment of August 18, 1914, four qualificatious ware generally necessary: First, that the vessel be built in the United States; second that it belong to American citizens; third that the master and other oflicers be American citizens, and fourth, that the vessel be over fifteen tons. To these requirements there were cocasion. al exceptions. The total penalties on foreign-built vessels owned by Americans and entering a port of the United States, whether in bellast or in cargo, was $1 a net ton, the items in this aggregate being a tonnage tax of 60 cents. per ton end a duty of 50 cents per ton, denominated light The reasons for the money. penalties no longer exist, No- vessels subject to them have en- tered Ainerican porte since August 18 o foros known, but such vessels will return to the United States for registry and the penalty provision of the law should be: repealed. Since the passage of the abip registry net of August, 1914, ships that would be entitled to register under this statate cannot Recure a full register abroad. Such a register will not be afford- ed until the vessel comer to the United States. For instance," an American purchased a vassel
abroad, say, at Valparaiso, the consul would give it a cartificate, not a register, On it return to America this vessel could secure a full register, but before reaching the proper official it would be necessary to enter some American port, thereby incurring the penalties which have been mentioned.
